Facebook to Use Left-Wing Organization and Left Leaning Main Stream Media Fact Checkers

In an Orwellian move that many media experts suspect is nothing more than an attempt to silence opposing views and competitive media outlets, Facebook announced that it will enlist the aid of several main stream media outlets to help it fact check articles.

Facebook announced that it will use a fact checking code drafted by The International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), an organization hosted by the Poynter Institute for Media Studies. The Poynter Institute, according to Breitbart is funded by Soros’ Open Society Foundations, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Google, and the National Endowment for Democracy, entities all openly favorable to left-wing causes and the Democratic party.

Other Facebook fact checkers include Snopes, ABC News and The Washington Post- all left leaning organizations.

Fake news can be reported to Facebook by clicking on the upper right hand corner of each post.

Flagging Stories as Disputed

Fake stories will be flagged. Facebook users can still share these stories but they will be flagged with a warning that the story has been disputed.

Informed Sharing

Facebook will introduce signals into helping to identify fake news. If people read articles and don’t share it, that may be a sign that the article misled the reader. There are many reasons why people may not share a story (not interesting?) that have nothing to do with the veracity of the content.

Disrupting Financial Incentives for Spammer

Facebook will identify publishers where they detect ‘policy enforcement actions might be necessary.’

The Facebook action against fake news is not a voluntary opt in filter but a site-wide mandated Facebook”feature”. If users wish to have every piece of information vetted by a third party, then the Facebook fake news filter will satisfy them. If not, other platforms that don’t engage in overt and biased censorship of information will most likely come on line and thrive.

A Kirkland, Washington woman posted on Facebook that she had been sexually assaulted. The Kirkland police interviewed the woman who confessed that nothing happened that she made the assault claim on Facebook because she was distraught over the results of the recent Presidential election.

It was inevitable. It’s not enough for Google to demonetize “fake news” sites or for Facebook to filter/censor content from such sites. Infowars reports that the left wants a cleaner, more permanent way of shutting down fake news – an internet kill switch.

Infowars reports that Bloomberg has cited a Donald Trump tweet that purportedly has the President-Elect saying in connection with his Trump University lawsuit that he “‘cheated more than 6,000 students with false promises.”

Infowars points out that no such tweet exists and provides the tweet containing what Donald Trump really tweeted.

President Obama weighed in on fake news sites in a news conference in Germany this week. The President noted that fake news make it difficult for people to “discriminate between serious arguments and propaganda”.

The President also noted that much fake news is packaged nicely and “it looks the same when you see it on a Facebook page or turn on your television.” While criticizing fake news, the President offered no solutions other than to remark, “We’ll figure it out”.

President -Elect Donald Trump made retaining jobs in the United States a centerpiece of his campaign. Mr. Trump has threatened to place a 35% tariff on companies that move their factories outside the United States and wish to import their products back to the U.S.

Kentucky got some welcome news as Donald Trump tweeted yesterday that the CEO of Ford called him to let him know that the Lincoln plant will remain in Kentucky.
